On this edition of South Carolina Lede, host Gavin Jackson is joined by the Post and Courier's Caitlin Byrd to examine the 2020 battle for South Carolina's Fist Congressional District.

Then, South Carolina Public Radio's own Russ McKinney stops by to quiz Gavin in this week's Did You Know segment, and they're joined by special guest Bradley Fuller, host of Sonatas and Soundscapes.
